IMPROVEMENTIIN BAG-HOLDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 128,598, dated July 2, 1/872.

SPECIFICATION.

I, DAVID CULVER, of Kingston, in the county of Luz'erne and State of Pennsylvania,

have invented certain Improvements in Bag- Holders, of which the following is a specification:

The first part of my invention relates to the construction of a movable support, arranged in such manner that it may be combined with the bag-holder frame, and used at any convenient place inside or outside of a barn or other building, for the purposes of measuring, by driving the same into the said building. The second part of my invention relates to the construction of a truck with a suitable longitudinal bar, for the support of an adjustable bag-holder frame. The third part consists in constructing and arranging a bag-holder, so as to be used either on the truck or on the movable support, as fully described and illustrated by the accompanying drawing.

Figure 1 is a perspective of a truck and bagholder combined. Fig. 2 is a section of the same. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the movable support. A is the movable support, constructed of good iron, with the sharpened points a b, which are to be driven into any suitable place, convenient to the material to be measured, on the.

face edge of which are open lugs c and d, into which the upright rod mis placed at any convenient height for measuring. The lugs c and d are, constructed with an opening in the top one to receive the brace-pin e of Fig. 2. It is spread at the top into two prongs to receive the bag-holder. My improved truck is arranged with open lugs or loops f f to. receive the bag-holder. They may be fastened with screws or rivets. The lower one receives the foot of the bag-holder, which is held into any position by the thumb-screw g, running through the longitudinal bar h of the truck-2: frame, and by this means the bag-holder may be raised or' lowered to suit the length of the: different-sized bags in use. The remaining part of the truck is constructed in the usual method. In Figs. 1 and 2, c is an elevated portion attached to the rim J, to prevent the grain from going beyond the opening. The rims J and k are held together, when the bag is placed between them, by the spring Z, which adjusts itself as soon as the top rim is forced down. It will be noticed that the upright m, the rim 7c, and the joint of the upper rim are combined in a solid piece. Attached to the rim is are braces it running to the pin 0, which pin isso arranged as to allow the holder to slide through the loops f f, and at the same time sustain the rim it.

Having thus described the drawing, what I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent'of the United States, is-

1. The movable supporting frame, Fig. 3, constructed as described, and combined with the bag-holder bar m, for the purpose specified.

2. In a bag-holder the bar m, provided with the brace-pin e, and combined with the bar h provided with the open loop f, as described.
